Crush Chocolate Wafers: Begin by finely crushing the chocolate wafers until you have approximately 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.

Prepare Crust: Combine the crushed wafers with melted margarine, mixing well. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie plate.
-
Bake Crust: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes until it is set. Allow the crust to cool completely.

Melt Chocolate: In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Combine Ingredients: Stir the beaten egg yolks into the cream cheese mixture. Then, gradually incorporate the melted chocolate into this mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Beat Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Then, fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble Pie: Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least a few hours, or freeze for a quicker set.

Optional Toppings: You can top the pie with pecans or incorporate them into the filling for added texture and flavor. Additionally, consider garnishing with chocolate leaves or shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
